"The only thing that stops me from devolving into a puddle of tears is knowing that it’s a long life, and the greatest gift in the world is being able to create music no matter what the circumstances. So these are the new circumstances, and I’ll find a way to make it mean something. That’s all you can ever do."

Face To Call Home
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your life in motion. You can do whatever you like with your life in motion. But all things in motion need at least as much inertia in the opposite direction than the motion you’ve already had. So it’s hard, I know. But if you don’t like it, decide during this next guitar solo, that you want to change it. You wanna go home? You make that phone call. You wanna say goodbye? You make that phone call. You wanna say I’m sorry for saying goodbye and like to say hello again? You make that phone call. But you can always change. If you’re still alive, you can still change."

"We want sunny skies, but with a chance of killer tornadoes, just to keep music sounding good. We take hours upon hours to admit to self consciousness. We don’t know exactly how to pleasure each other. We just want love. In any and every form."

"I’m not the first person to admit we’re all self conscious, Kanye was. But what I want to do is to shed a little light on why we’re all in the same boat, no matter the shape of the life we lead: because every one of us were told since birth that we were special. We were spoken to by name through a television. We were promised we could be anything that we wanted to be, if only we believed it and then, faster than we saw coming, we were set loose into the world to shake hands with the millions of other people who were told the exact same thing. And really? Really? It turns out we’re just not all that special, when you break it down. Beautifully unspectacular, actually. And that truth is going to catch up with us whether we want to run from it or not."

"Mayer fans are a breed of their own. You all are a community of people who turn to music for the answers. You bow down to the guitar solos and welcome with open arms the 12 minute jams, even though you’re still secretly hoping for Daughters. You are the most loyal fans I’ve ever seen."
